I know there are alot of mock drafts out there, but I consider this guy to be a real specialist combined with the fact that he has an interesting draft. Pretty unique.

9. Green Bay Packers

Brian Cushing
LB, USC

Switching to a 3-4 defense calls for a versatile OLB who can bring it with the rush and hold the edge against the run.



He thinks Orakpo will fall past us and Raji will be picked by the Seahawks at 4, letting Crabtree slip by.

I like the idea of having Raji on our defense. I certainly hope that the Seahawks will just go with their WR.

I asume that the Browns aren't picking a DT, the Raiders, you just don't know. The Bengals might, although they have problems everywhere. I'd start with the O-line on that team though. The Jags can be the big spoiler imo if Raji falls to 8. They where already working on their D-line last year by picking a DE. A playmaking DT would complement that nicely. O-line also seems to be the biggest issue there though, so in my mind, Raji should be there for us to take him.

I just want Raji in the first...then IDK which OLB we should get in the 2nd. Or maybe just get Orakpo in the first and go for Brace in the 2nd.

Brian Cushing? No thank you. Not at #9.

Will all of the steroid allegations that surround him, there are plenty of other DE/OLB hybrids to choose from. I'd go in a different direction.

I think Cushing is a real solid player, but at No. 9 I think you've got to hit on a pro bowl type of player. Not sure Cushing can be that. I think a possible trade down would open the door for Cushing.
